I rode past a group of Team GB guys this morning, they were passing over the Narrows bridge at 8:00am. Probably 6 or 7 of them in fresh gear out enjoying the perfect weather. Yeah definately not tour riders would be correct.

Just noticed that the last post was almost 2 years ago, well they're back. Not sure what they'd be training for. I was on a Pina and wearing Team Sky apparal at the time so that was a confusing moment. Nice gear that Sky stuff..

Yeah I followed Cameron Meyor and someone else from the Narrows to Russell Road early this year just after the TDU. No I don't think I'll be taking those guys on but to ride with them and gauge yourself would be interesting, one guy past me doing about 55km/h this morning along the Freeway Bike Track. I managed to stay with him but it felt ultra dangerous with all manner of things coming in the other direction. I swear this commuting thing is becoming quite serious but thankfully I haven't seen to many crashes. What Crits are they doing? I wouldn't mind to go watch..

The whole GB track team is here including Sir Chris Hoy, the are training at the speed dome 4 days a week and obviously out and about on the road and paths. Cameron, Travis and Luke are here for xmas with family and getting ready for the National Road Champs and TDU. The 3 have been racing Crits and TT. with (as expected) good results.

Pretty sure I was passed by Sir Chris and a female rider (track physique) going south, PSP from the narrows. Stayed with them into the 20 knot headwind until my 50/16 SS gear spun out! Some power there.

Yep saw 4 of these guys yesterday on the Midland PSP at East Perth heading towards the city about 4.30.OMGosh they looked impressive in that kit. Very distracting driving past

Ah yeah, that must have been them I passed at Mt Lawley station. I was too busy puffing my way up the 'hill' there to pay much notice. They did seem very relaxed.

I spotted team GB too! Yes chances are guys they're riding bikes, so are you people do see people!They're here training because, don't quote me on this one, the head coach at WAIS used to coach team GB mark cavendish ect so they've got an agreement that athletes can go and train. They're everywhere with their pinarellos, I saw them in Midland while heading to the track then later at the track session monday night and multiple times around the place. They sure stand out.
